Reviews"It is no surprise to find Dr. Bruford so eloquently putting into language that which springs from such a non-linguistic source. Bill's scholarly insights matched with a career's-worth of personal experience shed an authoritative light on the creative role of the drummer. In today's world of computer-generated rhythmic music, how wonderful to tap into this most organic and visceral element in music's heritage, and deepen our appreciation of this immense creativity, past and present." --Tim Garland, "... an intelligent, thought-provoking treatise on the notion of creativity in Western popular music. Over the course of a number of interviews and case studies involving expert drummers, Bill Bruford examines how such practitioners approach and understand creativity. In the process, he crafts a relational processual model for understanding creativity and the creative process for real-time interactive performing arts (theatre, dance, music). The result is a fascinating and rewarding read that will surely affect players and listeners alike as they think about the concept of finding 'creative meaning in making it work and making it matter.'" --Rob Bowman, Grammy Award Winning Professor of Music
